***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

The Indian market is only going to become even more desirous of Antipodean brawn and beef than it already is, you see. .

This is a Danny Morrison commentary - Corey Anderson hitting - Brendon McCullum exports reference, for those not paying attention.

I'm pretty sure when Woodcock debuted as an opener for Wellington there was a comparison to Edgar. It's fitting that he has been restored to the top under Edgar's guidance.

Young guns McClure & Carter putting on a good stand against Auckland. George Worker is having a great start to the season too.

Here's an interview with Edgar about the coming season.

Heck yes! MTW linked by somebody who isn't me

FTR there's a bigger interview with Edgar going up soon, though that's more centred on him, more so than Wellington.

 

[African Monkey]

Stephen Murdoch is like our version of Michael Klinger. Scores runs at a consistent rate without ever threatning to crack into the national side.

 

[Dan]

Yeah but Klinger's actually good

 

[African Monkey]

Yeah but Klinger's actually good

haha I shouldn't say that Klinger isn't close to selection as you guys like to blood them old.

Santner and that FC record everybody likes to bring up suffers again due to batting so low. Stuck with the tail and had to gun it. Should be at least ahead of Mitchell and Popli in the batting line up.

Popli is a mug, so I could advocate that...but otherwise, everyone likes Santner old gun.

 

[Howsie]

Popli is a mug, so I could advocate that...but otherwise, everyone likes Santner old gun.

Not from what I've read. Apparently he isn't fit to bat six in the test squad because he averaged 32 last season, which again had a lot to do with where he was batting for ND.

Popli is definately a different batsman to the one you may have come across while he was at uni up in Auckland. Will never play for NZ but teams like Wellington and Otago could do a lot worse for a first class batsman.

Runs today, fair play to him.

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah but Klinger's actually good

if he was any good he'd be in your test team that needs four more batsmen

and murdoch is pretty decent tbh. not going to play tests any time soon with his technique and output but the bloke can scrap.

 

[Flem274*]

oh hey 650 and the reserve test opener in the sheds cheap to dougeh.

good day

 

[Blain]

Otago cricket in trouble with hacks like Brad Wilson certain starters in their side.

Clarkson seems promising, what is he, 18? More all rounders the better.

 

[Kippax]

I think he can only aspire to sort of Ben Wheeler all-rounder status more than Neesham/Anderson, but yeah born in Jan 1997.

 

[Prince EWS]

Was that Broom sending down pies?

 

[Kippax]

Haha yeah that's Broom.

 

[Prince EWS]

So rancid.

 

[Kippax]

Wellington effectively 92/4 I see. That's going to be a problem for ND when they play on their new pitches, which is the same clay as the Basin's. Day 4, the green tinge is gone, but there's still pace in it and it's coming onto the bat nicely.

 

[Kippax]

Six.

 

[Kippax]

The old leg slip for Woodock was in place.

 

[Kippax]

Not sure whether to laud Nicholls for his 150, or be mindful of this Sri Lanka A bowling being weaker than a Plunket attack, seeing Raval also got one.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Any chance of a comparison between Beard's old and new actions, Kippax? From what I've seen it looks pretty clean.
